SM-16 Max/MSP Patch A max/msp patch that performs rhythmic pitch tweaks on samples. No Documentation included, so use the patch at your own risk.

ReWire Max/MSP 4.3.1 Max/MSP ReWire example patch. For MacOS 10.2/10.3. Not tested on Windows. This patch is still a little buggy. Before Reason will play, Reason must be brought to the front, then the Max transport window must be brought back to the front. Tempo settings must be made via the max transport window otherwise, the audio playback freezes.
